Truck Accidents
Large commercial trucks travel through Cherokee County daily, using I-85, Highway 29, and SC-105. Unfortunately, truck accidents often result in severe injuries due to the size and weight of these vehicles. Common causes of truck accidents include:
- Driver fatigue
- Improper truck maintenance
- Overloaded cargo
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Drunk or drug-impaired driving
A truck accident lawyer can investigate the crash and hold the trucking company, driver, or other liable parties accountable. Trucking companies have teams of lawyers working to reduce their liability—let us fight for you.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders are particularly vulnerable on Cherokee County’s highways and rural roads, including SC-5 and SC-150. Drivers often fail to see motorcycles, leading to serious accidents. Some of the most common causes of motorcycle crashes include:
- Left-turn accidents
- Speeding
- Drunk driving
- Lane splitting
- Distracted driving
If you were injured in a motorcycle crash, our motorcycle accident lawyer will work to prove fault and help you seek damages for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost income.
Medical Malpractice Cases
Healthcare professionals are expected to provide safe and effective treatment, but mistakes happen. Medical errors in hospitals, clinics, and private practices across Cherokee County—such as Cherokee Medical Center—can result in devastating injuries or even death. Common medical malpractice cases include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Birth injuries
- Medication mistakes
- Hospital-acquired infections
A medical malpractice lawyer can help you hold doctors, nurses, and hospitals accountable when their negligence leads to harm. Contact us today if you or a loved one suffered due to medical negligence.
Workplace Injuries and Workers’ Compensation Claims
Workplace accidents happen in factories, construction sites, and industrial workplaces across Cherokee County. If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, including:
- Medical treatment coverage
- Wage replacement
- Disability benefits
Unfortunately, workers’ compensation claims are often denied, leaving injured workers struggling financially. Our disability lawyer can help you file a claim or appeal a denied claim to secure the necessary benefits. We also handle third-party liability cases when another party—such as an equipment manufacturer—is responsible for your injuries.
